Specific hazards arising from the chemical: Extreme temperatures of combustion or burning and contact with nitrites could result in the formation of nitrosamines which are potential carcinogens. This condition is unlikely to occur. Combustion products - Carbon monoxide, Carbon dioxide. Special protective equipment and precautions for fire-fighters: For fire involving this material, do not enter any enclosed or confined fire space without proper protective equipment. This may include self-contained breathing apparatus to protect against the hazardous effects of combustion products and oxygen deficiencies. SECTION 6: Accidental release measures Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Stay upwind and away from spill/release. For large spillages, notify persons downwind of the spill/release, isolate immediate hazard area and keep unauthorized personnel out.

Revision Date: June 1, 2015 Page 3 of 10
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Persons not wearing protective equipment should be excluded from area of spill until cleanup has been completed. Stop spill at source, wipe up, shovel or vacuum spilled material. Clean up spills immediately as they can be dangerously slippery. Prevent run-off to sewers, streams or other bodies of water. If run-off occurs, notify proper authorities as required. SECTION 7: Handling and Storage Precautions for safe handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Wear protective gloves/clothing and eye/face protection. Use good personal hygiene practices and wear appropriate personal protective equipment (see section 8). Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibles: Store at temperatures between 40-180 o F. Avoid freezing. Keep away from children, infants and pets. Keep container(s) tightly closed and properly labeled. Store only in approved containers. Keep away from any incompatible material (see Section 10). Protect container(s) against physical damage. "Empty" containers retain residue and may be dangerous. "Empty" drums should be completely drained, properly bunged, and promptly shipped to the supplier or a drum reconditioner. All containers should be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner and in accordance with governmental regulations.
